Sanbona Dwyka Tented Lodge

Sanbona Wildlife Reserve is an exclusive 5-star game reserve nestled in the Warmwaterberg Mountains in the Klien Karoo. A mere 3-hour drive from Cape Town, the magnificent landscape is so much more than just a game reserve, it is a 58 000-hectare wilderness sanctuary comprising open plains, river valleys, and mountains brimming with indigenous flora and fauna. It is a true haven for photographers, with ideal lighting and awe-inspiring sightings. The 5-star Sanbona Dwyka Tented Lodge is located on an eroded landscape with a charming reflection of the nomadic lifestyle of the Khoisan hunter-gatherers who once wandered this land. Sanbona Dwyka Tented Lodge boasts 9 standalone luxury tented suites, the perfect place to wind down and relax in-between the exciting safaris activities.

Sanbona is the only place in the world with free roaming and self-sustaining white lions. A truly incredible sight.  Game rangers at Sanbona Dwyka Tented Lodge are passionate about every detail in the wild, from the smallest plants to tall giraffes, they are experts in their field.
